Real Air Freight Cases: From Urgent To Dangerous Goods
In March 2026, we were instructed by our customers to transport three pallets of goods containing built-in batteries. The shipper had no prior experience shipping dangerous goods. GWT promptly provided reasonable shipping recommendations, assisted the shipper in completing the dangerous goods packaging certificate, and confirmed that all documents matched the cargo. We successfully airfreighted the goods to Mexico and coordinated with the destination port agent to complete customs clearance and delivery.
Due to a surge in sales, our customers needed an urgent shipment of goods flown from Shenzhen to Lima, Peru, to alleviate inventory shortages. Although the goods were ready on Friday, the client’s other freight forwarder informed them that the earliest departure would be next Tuesday, which did not meet their needs. After understanding the client’s requirements, GWT immediately arranged the space booking. From pickup to aircraft departure, the issue was perfectly resolved within 48 hours. This experience with urgent cargo transportation has strengthened our clients ’trust in GWT.

What our Client Says
We are a local household appliance trader in Mexico. I source goods from Foshan, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen in China. Since each shipment is small, transporting them in separate shipments has significantly increased my costs. GWT consolidated shipments from multiple suppliers and arranged transport in one shipment, reducing the shipping process and saving costs.
Luis HerreraImport Manager, MexicoWe have a steady volume of goods shipped from China to Santiago Airport. I’ve been working with GWT Team since 2016, and they handle all my shipments. More than low prices, I value their efficient and reliable service. I’m always satisfied with the GWT team.
Diego RamirezPurchase Manager, PeruWe are a cross-border e-commerce seller based in Brazil, sourcing electronics from Shenzhen, China, and selling them through Amazon FBA. In April, one of our sea shipments from Yantian Port to Rio de Janeiro Port was delayed, and the goods couldn’t arrive on time. Our customers required delivery within 5 business days. GWT immediately arranged the fastest air freight solution. The shipment arrived in Brazil within 4 days, which fulfilled the order before the deadline.
Carlos MendezE-commerce Seller, Brazil
Air freight rates are calculated based on the chargeable weight, which is the greater of the actual gross weight or the volumetric weight of your shipment. The final cost also depends on factors such as the destination, airline capacity, cargo type, fuel surcharges, and seasonal demand. For shipments to Latin America, transit routing and destination airport may also affect the final quotation. To receive an accurate quote, simply provide your cargo dimensions, weight, cargo type, and destination.
Chargeable weight is the weight used by airlines to calculate air freight charges. It is based on whichever is greater: the actual gross weight or the volumetric (dimensional) weight of the shipment. If your cargo is lightweight but occupies a large amount of space, the volumetric weight will usually be used for billing. The final chargeable weight is confirmed after the cargo is accepted and measured at the airport warehouse.
Most air freight quotations are valid for approximately one week, although validity may be shorter during peak seasons, holidays, or periods of limited airline capacity. Since air freight rates can change frequently, especially on shipping routes from China to Latin America, we recommend confirming your booking as early as possible to secure the quoted price.
Air freight from China to Latin America typically takes 3–7 days, depending on the destination country, airline routing, customs clearance, and flight availability. Since many shipments transit through North America or Europe, transit times may vary by destination. Before booking, GWT evaluates the most efficient routing and provides an estimated transit schedule to help you plan inventory and avoid unnecessary delays.
Yes. GWT provides flexible door-to-door air freight services from China to Latin America. We can arrange cargo pickup from your suppliers, export customs clearance, international air transportation, import customs coordination, and final delivery to your warehouse or business address. By working with a single logistics partner throughout the shipment, you can reduce coordination work, improve shipping efficiency, and keep your supply chain running smoothly.
Air freight to Latin America rarely follows a single fixed route. Depending on your cargo type, destination, airline capacity, and delivery urgency, we evaluate different routing options through North America or Europe. This helps balance transit time, freight costs, and shipment reliability while reducing the risk of unnecessary delays.
